1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The news of eliminating backward production capacity released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on Friday may affect some previously backward alumina production capacity. After a brief inventory build - up, the alumina warehouse receipt inventory has returned to an extremely low level of less than 10,000 tons. The market's bullish sentiment has returned, and alumina is expected to continue to be strong. However, the actual impact of the standards for eliminating backward production capacity on alumina needs to be further observed [2][4][6] 3. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs Transaction Data - From July 11th to July 18th, 2025, the price of the active alumina futures contract increased from 3,117 yuan/ton to 3,133 yuan/ton, a rise of 16 yuan/ton. The price of domestic alumina spot increased from 3,186 yuan/ton to 3,202 yuan/ton, also a rise of 16 yuan/ton. The spot premium changed from - 4 yuan/ton to 51 yuan/ton, an increase of 55 yuan/ton. The FOB price of Australian alumina decreased from 370 US dollars/ton to 368 US dollars/ton, a drop of 2 US dollars/ton. The import profit and loss improved from - 88.85 yuan/ton to - 85.12 yuan/ton, an increase of 3.7 yuan/ton. The exchange warehouse inventory decreased from 18,612 tons to 6,922 tons, a decrease of 11,690 tons, and the exchange factory warehouse inventory remained at 0 tons [3] Market Review - Last week, the main alumina futures contract rose 0.51% to close at 3,133 yuan/ton. The national weighted - average spot price on Friday was 3,202 yuan/ton, up 16 yuan/ton from the previous week. The supply and price of domestic bauxite remained stable last week. For imported ore, the impact of the rainy season in Guinea on ore shipments is gradually emerging, but there is no direct impact on short - term arrivals in China due to the more than 45 - day shipping time. The alumina production capacity in operation remains at a high level. Some enterprises' calciner overhauls have ended, while others are still in progress, leading to a temporary shortage of supply in some areas and supporting the price. As of July 17th, China's alumina installed capacity was 114.8 million tons, the operating capacity was 93.2 million tons, and the operating rate was 81.18%. The demand for alumina has increased due to the resumption of production by Guizhou electrolytic aluminum enterprises and the transfer of production capacity from Shandong to Yunnan. The alumina futures warehouse receipt inventory decreased by 12,000 tons to 7,000 tons last Friday, and the factory warehouse inventory remained at 0 tons [4] Market Outlook - The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced the optimization of the industrial structure and elimination of backward production capacity in ten major industries such as non - ferrous metals and steel. The bauxite end was basically stable last week, and the impact of the rainy season in Guinea on shipments needs to be monitored. On the supply side, there are both increases and decreases in alumina production capacity, and the overall operating capacity remains at a high level. As of last Thursday, the domestic alumina operating capacity was 93.2 million tons, with an operating rate of 81.18%. The market sentiment of holding back goods and supporting prices remains unchanged, especially in some areas where spot goods are in short supply and the spot price is good. By the end of last week, the theoretical import window for overseas alumina slightly opened. On the consumption side, electrolytic aluminum plants replenish inventory as needed, mainly through long - term contracts, and some transactions have slightly increased following the quotes of alumina enterprises. The warehouse receipt inventory changed from a decrease to an increase this week, with a decrease of 12,000 tons to 7,000 tons, and the factory warehouse inventory remained at 0 tons. Overall, the news of eliminating backward production capacity may affect some previously backward alumina production capacity. The alumina warehouse receipt inventory has returned to an extremely low level, and the market's bullish sentiment has returned. Alumina is expected to continue to be strong, but the actual impact of the standards for eliminating backward production capacity on alumina needs to be further observed [2][5][6] Industry News - Canyon Resources announced the official start of the key infrastructure construction of the Minim Martap bauxite project, aiming to build an efficient export supply chain from the Minim Martap mine to the Douala port to support production in early 2026 and the first bauxite exports in the first half of 2026. Rio Tinto released its Q2 2025 production performance report, with bauxite production reaching 15.644 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 6% and a quarter - on - quarter increase of 5% (production guidance range: 57 - 59 million tons) [7] Related Charts - The report provides multiple charts, including those on alumina futures price trends, alumina spot prices, alumina spot premiums, alumina month - to - first - continuous spread, domestic bauxite prices, imported bauxite CIF prices, caustic soda prices, power coal prices, alumina cost - profit, and alumina exchange inventory, which visually display the changes in relevant data over time [8][9][11]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The fundamentals of Shanghai nickel are characterized by the resonance of macro and news factors, while the real - world fundamentals limit its price elasticity. The fundamentals of stainless steel show that macro expectations boost the market, but the actual supply - demand situation still exerts a drag. The price of nickel and stainless steel is expected to show an oscillatory pattern [1][2]. Summary by Related Catalogs Nickel Fundamentals - Macro and news factors improve market sentiment, with policies potentially adjusting the structure and optimizing supply. The Indonesian APNI Association suggests re - evaluating the HPM formula for nickel ore, which may increase smelting costs. However, the support from the ore end has weakened, and the smelting end limits the upward elasticity of nickel prices. The negative feedback in July has affected the supply side, and the acceptance of high smelting prices in the ternary sector is low [1]. Stainless Steel Fundamentals - U.S. tariffs suppress the terminal demand for stainless steel, but domestic policy expectations boost the market. The real - world supply - demand situation has turned into a double - weak state, with weekly inventory slightly decreasing. The production schedule in July shows a decline in China and an increase in Indonesia. The high - cost cash cost of Indonesian stainless steel has decreased, and the high inventory of nickel - iron pressures its valuation [2]. Inventory Changes - China's refined nickel social inventory increased by 1,674 tons to 38,979 tons, LME nickel inventory increased by 1,398 tons to 207,576 tons. The mid - July nickel - iron inventory was 37,534 tons, with a year - on - year increase of 50% and a month - on - month decrease of 11%. On July 17, 2025, the total social inventory of stainless steel decreased by 1.69% week - on - week. China's port nickel ore inventory increased by 518,700 wet tons to 9.4836 million wet tons [3][4][6]. Market News - There are various events such as the potential halt of nickel exports from Ontario to the U.S., the successful trial production of a nickel - iron project in Indonesia, the resumption of production of a nickel smelter, the shutdown and maintenance of a cold - rolling mill, the removal of the raw ore export ban in the Philippines, environmental violations in an Indonesian industrial park, the plan to shorten the mining quota period in Indonesia, and the suspension of production of some nickel - iron EF lines due to losses [7][8][9]. Weekly Key Data Tracking - The report provides data on the closing prices, trading volumes, and related price differences of Shanghai nickel and stainless steel futures, as well as prices and spreads in the industrial chain such as electrolytic nickel, nickel - iron, and stainless steel products [11].

Core Viewpoint - The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is set to release a work plan aimed at stabilizing growth in ten key industries, including steel, non-ferrous metals, and petrochemicals [1] Group 1: Industry Focus - The plan will focus on structural adjustments, optimizing supply, and eliminating outdated production capacity in key industries [1]

Core Viewpoint - The price increase trend in the photovoltaic industry chain is beginning to transmit downstream after the rise in polysilicon prices, indicating a potential rebound in prices across various segments of the industry chain [1][2]. Group 1: Price Trends - Recent reports indicate that multiple polysilicon companies have started adjusting their product prices, showing a strong determination to maintain price levels [1]. - From July 3 to July 9, the average price of silicon wafers has slightly increased due to the rising expectations of polysilicon prices [1]. - The price adjustments in the polysilicon segment are expected to lead to a wave of price rebounds across the industry chain, although the overall recovery of the industry will depend on specific capacity reduction situations [1]. Group 2: Market Dynamics - The downstream crystal pulling segment is facing a decision on whether to continue observing the market or accept slight price increases to replenish inventory [1]. - As the price of polysilicon rises, leading silicon wafer manufacturers have begun to raise prices, with other specialized manufacturers following suit [1]. - The atmosphere for silicon wafer price increases is strengthening, supported by healthy inventory levels, cash cost support, and policy guidance [1]. Group 3: Future Outlook - Despite the overall terminal demand not showing significant recovery, the recent price increases in the polysilicon segment have gradually transmitted to the silicon wafer segment, providing initial support for the market [2]. - The prices of polysilicon and silicon wafers are currently at a bottom range, and future prices are expected to gradually rise and maintain within a certain range [2]. - The industry is anticipated to gradually recover and form a healthy competitive landscape due to the large-scale elimination of backward production capacity in the photovoltaic sector [2].

Group 1 - The central theme of the news highlights the mixed performance of the livestock breeding index and the impact of government policies on the industry, particularly focusing on the elimination of outdated production capacity and the enhancement of product quality [1][3] - As of July 4, the livestock ETF has seen a net value increase of 12.16% over the past six months, indicating a positive trend in the sector [1] - The Central Financial Committee's recent meeting emphasized the need for regulated competition and the orderly exit of outdated production capacities, which is expected to stabilize market prices and promote sustainable development in the pig farming industry [1][3] Group 2 - The CSI Livestock Breeding Index includes companies involved in animal feed, veterinary drugs, and livestock farming, reflecting the overall performance of listed companies in the livestock sector [3] - As of June 30, 2025, the top ten weighted stocks in the CSI Livestock Breeding Index accounted for 65.27% of the index, with major players including Muyuan Foods, Wens Foodstuff, and Haida Group [3] - The performance of the top ten stocks shows a mixed trend, with some stocks like Haida Group and Wens Foodstuff experiencing slight declines, while others like Shengnong Development and Biological Shares showed positive growth [5]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The lithium carbonate market in the first half of 2025 showed lower volatility compared to last year. Although short - term factors may disrupt the rhythm, the market still develops around its fundamentals. The overall supply - demand pattern of lithium carbonate is difficult to change, with an oversupply situation. Before significant production cuts in the mining and lithium salt plants, the lithium carbonate market may continue the process of oscillating and bottom - hunting. The price is expected to range between 45,000 - 70,000 yuan/ton in the second half of 2025. For industrial customers and investment institutions, they can seize the staged downward market [6][23][24]. - On the supply side, there are disturbances in the mining end, but the over - capacity of lithium salt is still large. If the lithium price does not rebound significantly and remains below 70,000 yuan/ton for a long time in the second half of 2025, some high - cost mines and recycling enterprises are expected to gradually reduce production or exit, and new projects may be postponed. The total supply is expected to be 1.65 million tons of LCE, still in an oversupply pattern [8][24]. - On the demand side, new energy vehicles and energy storage are still the two main drivers of consumption growth. In 2024, China's new energy vehicle production and sales reached 12.888 million and 12.866 million respectively, with year - on - year growth of 34.4% and 35.5%. In 2025, the domestic new energy vehicle production and sales data still maintained a high growth rate. It is expected that China's new energy vehicle sales will reach about 16.5 million in 2025, a year - on - year increase of 28%, and global sales will reach about 23 million, a year - on - year increase of 26%. In the energy storage sector, the growth rate is expected to remain high, with an annual year - on - year growth rate of about 40%. Overall, the consumption growth rate of lithium carbonate in 2025 is expected to be about 22% [9][10]. - In terms of balance, the oversupply situation will continue in the second half of 2025, and the inventory pressure will continue to increase. It is expected that the annual oversupply will be 210,000 tons of LCE [11][12]. - Regarding inventory, smelters contribute the main inventory increase, and attention should be paid to the delivery inventory. It is expected that the lithium salt inventory will continue to accumulate in the second half of the year [13]. - Conclusion: The lithium carbonate price may continue to bottom - hunt. Although the supply - demand situation shows a double - increase pattern in 2025, the oversupply situation remains unchanged. Due to the price drop, the supply growth rate may slow down, and the degree of oversupply will decrease. The price is expected to fluctuate between 45,000 - 70,000 yuan/ton in the second half of 2025 [14]. Section Summaries Strategy Summary - In the first quarter of 2025, lithium carbonate futures prices were relatively stable. The 2505 contract rebounded from 77,800 yuan/ton at the beginning of the year to 81,680 yuan/ton, a 4.99% increase, and then fell to 74,160 yuan/ton. In the second quarter, due to the impact of the Sino - US tariff war, the demand growth rate declined, and the industry returned to the inventory accumulation rhythm. The 2507 contract fell from 74,500 yuan/ton in early April to the annual low of 58,460 yuan/ton, a 21.53% decrease. Later, with the extension of the US tariff exemption and the call to eliminate backward production capacity, the price rebounded to around 64,000 yuan/ton, a nearly 10% increase [5]. Price Review - In the first half of 2025, the lithium carbonate futures price first rose and then fell. In the first quarter, it was relatively stable. In the second quarter, it was affected by the Sino - US tariff war and demand slowdown, and the price dropped significantly. In June, with the relaxation of the tariff war and the support of energy storage exports, the price rebounded [5][22]. Market Outlook - In the second half of 2025, the overall supply - demand pattern of lithium carbonate is difficult to change, with an oversupply situation. The price is expected to range between 45,000 - 70,000 yuan/ton. If the lithium price does not rebound significantly, some high - cost mines and recycling enterprises may reduce production or exit, and new projects may be postponed [23][24]. Supply - side Situation - From January to June 2025, China's domestic lithium carbonate production was about 429,600 tons, a 43.91% year - on - year increase, and the annual production is expected to be about 900,000 tons, a 33% increase. Lithium hydroxide production was about 142,200 tons, a 18.56% year - on - year decrease. The overall production is expected to continue to increase. The over - capacity of lithium salt smelting is large, and some high - cost enterprises may reduce production or stop production [42]. Lithium Mine Production Cuts, Start - ups, and Cost Tracking - **Resource - end Increment**: In 2025, the total supply of the resource end is expected to be 1.57 million tons of LCE. Africa, domestic mines, and salt lakes, as well as South American salt lakes and Australian mines, will contribute to the increment [47]. - **Production Cost and Profit of Lithium Carbonate**: The cost of using salt lakes for production is relatively low, at 30,000 - 50,000 yuan/ton. Self - owned mine enterprises have a cash cost of 40,000 - 60,000 yuan/ton. The cost of purchasing ore is relatively high, and most of the time this year, they are in a loss situation. It is expected that the global lithium mine oversupply situation will be difficult to change, and the lithium mine price may further decline [50][51]. Import - Export - From January to May 2025, China's lithium spodumene imports reached 2.92 million tons, a 39.97% year - on - year increase. Lithium carbonate imports were 100,000 tons, a 15.3% increase, and the annual import is expected to reach 250,000 tons. Exports were 2,100 tons, and the annual export is expected to be 4,000 tons. Lithium hydroxide exports were 21,600 tons, a 59.9% year - on - year decrease, and imports were 6,470 tons, with a significant year - on - year increase [61][63]. Consumption - side - **Lithium Consumption**: In 2025, lithium consumption is mainly driven by new energy vehicles and energy storage. From January to May, the production of lithium iron phosphate increased significantly, while the growth of ternary materials was limited. In the battery end, the sales and exports of power and other batteries increased significantly. In the new energy vehicle sector, production and sales maintained a high growth rate, and it is expected that China's new energy vehicle sales will reach about 16.5 million in 2025. In the energy storage sector, the growth rate is expected to remain high [72][74][77]. Supply - Demand Balance Sheet - In 2025, the domestic lithium carbonate is expected to have an annual oversupply of 60,000 tons, and the global lithium resource is expected to have an annual oversupply of 220,000 tons of LCE [107]. Inventory - As of the end of June, the total lithium carbonate inventory reached 136,800 tons, with smelters contributing the main increase. It is expected that the inventory will continue to accumulate in the second half of the year [114].

Core Viewpoint - The recent meeting of the Y Finance Committee emphasized the need to eliminate outdated production capacity and prevent disorderly competition, aiming to stimulate domestic demand rather than simply reduce capacity [2][6][17]. Group 1 - The meeting's focus is on the orderly exit of outdated production capacity and preventing excessive competition, which has been a recurring theme in recent years [2][3]. - The interpretation of this meeting as a repeat of past supply-side reforms is considered a misunderstanding, as the current economic environment differs significantly from that of a decade ago [4][5][8]. - The notion of absolute overcapacity is challenged, with the argument that there is only structural overcapacity, not absolute overcapacity [9][10]. Group 2 - The demand for renewable energy sources, such as solar and electric vehicles, is expected to increase as global carbon peak targets approach, indicating that the perceived overcapacity is due to unactivated potential demand rather than excess production [12][14]. - The domestic situation reflects a lack of consumption driven by insufficient income among lower and middle classes, rather than overproduction [15][16]. - The meeting's agenda is about upgrading production capacity rather than merely reducing it, highlighting the need for quality improvement in supply [17][27]. Group 3 - Historical context shows that production overcapacity is a common issue faced by powerful modern nations, with different countries choosing various paths to address it, such as industrial upgrading or allowing industry to decline [20][21]. - The U.S. experience of industrial transfer in the mid-20th century serves as a cautionary tale against indiscriminate capacity reduction, which led to financialization and increased wealth disparity [26][27]. - The current narrative around overcapacity is partly driven by Western countries' attempts to undermine Eastern economies, fearing their complete industrial chain [28][30]. Group 4 - The elimination of outdated production capacity is expected to be limited in scale due to the current economic conditions, as large-scale layoffs could pose significant social issues [33]. - The government has already taken steps to curb price wars in the electric vehicle sector, indicating a proactive approach to managing competition [33]. - The strategy moving forward involves enhancing domestic consumption to absorb production capacity while expanding markets externally [35][37].

Core Viewpoint - The market sentiment is expected to remain strong in the short term, but fundamental factors suggest that coking coal prices may face downward pressure due to potential policies aimed at eliminating outdated production capacity [1] Group 1 - Market insiders believe that more policies targeting the elimination of outdated production capacity may be forthcoming [1] - Strong market sentiment is anticipated to continue in the short term [1] - Fundamental factors indicate that coking coal prices could be affected [1]
